{{Politics of Azerbaijan}}
The president of the Republic of Azerbaijan is the head of state of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The Constitution states that the president is the embodiment of executive power, commander-in-chief, "representative of Azerbaijan in home and foreign policies", and "shall have the right of immunity [from prosecution]." The president rules through his executive office, the Presidential Administration, consisting of a group of secretaries and departmental ministers. Additionally, there is a Cabinet of Ministers regarding economic and social policy and a Security Council regarding foreign, military, and judicial matters.
The primary workplace is the presidential building (also known as the presidential apparatus) on Istiglaliyyat Street in Baku.{{Cite web|title=Kompass catalog|url=http://az.kompass.com/profile_AZ661004_en/azerbaycan-respublikasinin-prezident-aparati-gi.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310143254/http://az.kompass.com/profile_AZ661004_en/azerbaycan-respublikasinin-prezident-aparati-gi.html|archive-date=2012-03-10|access-date=2014-08-10}}{{Cite web|title=ПРЕЗИДЕНТСКИЙ АППАРАТ АЗЕРБАЙДЖАНСКОЙ РЕСПУБЛИКИ|url=http://www.realazer.com/companies/488.html|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812210518/http://www.realazer.com/companies/488.html|archive-date=2014-08-12|access-date=2014-08-10}}{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20111004134500/http://www.baki.info/russian/law/law_executive_offices.php Baku Information]}} Ilham Aliyev, son of the former president, Heydar, was elected the 4th and current president on 31 October 2003 after his father's resignation due to his deteriorating health.
Selection process and term
=Eligibility=
Candidates for the position must be Azerbaijani citizens without age restrictions and have lived in Azerbaijan for at least 10 years.{{cite web|title=AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASINDA DÖVLƏT HAKİMİYYƏTİ HAQQINDA ÜMUMİ MƏLUMAT|url=http://www.taxes.gov.az/modul.php?name=azerbaijan&bolme=hakimiyyet&lang=|website=www.taxes.gov.az|access-date=10 August 2014|language=az|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140813023606/http://www.taxes.gov.az/modul.php?name=azerbaijan&bolme=hakimiyyet&lang=|archive-date=13 August 2014|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} According to the Constitution of Azerbaijan, the same person can be on the post of President an unlimited number of terms.
=Election=
Each faction in the National Assembly has the right to nominate a candidate for the presidential elections. The minimum number of signatures for a presidential candidate fielded by a political party with no parliamentary representation is 40,000, before amendments to the law.{{cite news|title=Ten Candidates Registered For Azerbaijani Presidential Election|url=http://www.rferl.org/content/azerbaijan-presidential-election-candidates/25109034.html|newspaper=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty|date=17 September 2013 |access-date=28 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141028142834/http://www.rferl.org/content/azerbaijan-presidential-election-candidates/25109034.html|archive-date=28 October 2014|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}
=Term of office=
Prior to 2009, the term of office was five years, with a maximum of two terms. A referendum in 2009 removed the limit on the number of terms, and in 2016, another referendum increased the term to seven years. According to the Azerbaijani administration, a longer term would provide for more continuity in decision-making. The Venice Commission, of which Azerbaijan is a member, warned that this and other provisions of the referendum gave "unprecedented" authority to the president, and could severely upset the balance of power.
= Inauguration =
The official inauguration ceremony of the president is not publicly held, occurring with the participation of officials of the Azerbaijan state (representatives of political parties, public organizations, military personnel, religious figures), members of the government, deputies of the National Assembly, members of the president's family, as well as foreign representatives and other invited guests.
It is held within three days after the confirmation of the elected president by the Constitutional Court, during which the president takes the following oath:{{Cite web|url=http://base.spinform.ru/show_doc.fwx?rgn=2618|title=Конституция Азербайджанской Республики|publisher=base.spinform.ru|language=ru|accessdate=2018-04-14}}
{{Blockquote|text="I swear, while exercising the powers of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, to observe the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan, to protect the independence and territorial integrity of the state, and to serve the people with dignity."}}
Then the person elected president of Azerbaijan puts his right hand on the Koran and takes the following oath:
{{Blockquote|text="I will remain faithful to the national moral values and traditions created by the Azerbaijani people for centuries, and I will always hold them high."}}
Then the president-elect of Azerbaijan bows and kisses the Azerbaijani flag. The ceremony ends with a speech by the president-elect of Azerbaijan. The following is a list of presidential inaugurations:
